Ron attended World School of Massage in San Francisco in 1991 where he received his certification in Sports Massage and Vibrational Healing Massage. Immediately after, he engaged in the study of Neuromuscular Therapy under mentor, Paul St. John, renowned founder of the St. John method.

to healing the body. His belief that, every move you make either
supports function or promotes dysfunction, helps him guide people
toward self awareness in daily living.
